Note: ``It would be well if character and reputation were used distinctively. In truth, character is what a person is; reputation is what he is supposed to be. Character is in himself, reputation is in the minds of others. Character is injured by temptations, and by wrongdoing; reputation by slanders, and libels. Character endures throughout defamation in every form, but perishes when there is a voluntary transgression; reputation may last through numerous transgressions, but be destroyed by a single, and even an unfounded, accusation or aspersion. --Abbott. [1913 Webster]

These trees shall be my books. And in their barks my thoughts I ll character. --Shak. [1913 Webster]

2. To distinguish by particular marks or traits; to describe; to characterize. [R.] --Mitford. [1913 Webster]
